125 CC: Gladiator is THE BEST.. or Discover also does not create any problem.. mine is now 60K kms old..

Stunner, Gladiator , XCD/Disco 135 in the 125 segment.

In the 150 segment, i suggest either Unicorn or GS150R.

gs150r has a high pillion seat.............

at speeds u ll know whats the disadvantage of that

Go for Gladiator.

Amazing ride quality,
Feels very comfortable on uneven surface.
Excellent handler.
Good pillion seat.
Smooth engine.
Performance wise can cruise at 80-85 without any stress on engine. Can clock a top wack of 105KPH.
Yamaha Quality. Can expect an average of 55+ in city riding condition (Can increase or decreases depending on riding skills).
Yamaha has prised this bike very competitive too.
I rate this bike an overall of 4.5 out of 5. (.5 deduction as could have generated more torque at low RPM but it's fine of a 125cc)

Just go for Gladiator. Stunner on other hand is a good machine but bit pricy and bit stiff ride quality.

Go for unicorn. it will fit in your requirements..

Suzuki GS 150 R, one of the best ride quality, comfort & engine refinement in 150 cc segment. Has more features & luks better than unicorn IMO. Fuel Efficiency in the region of 55 kpl. I had the fiero. So i know what Suzuki reliability is like. I'd say, test ride Unicorn n GS & decide for urself.

wont suggest a GS(i own one) as the pillion seat will be too high for wife/mother.. however it gives good mileage for 150 cc and its very smooth..
unicorn will be very smooth too but wont fetch you a good mileage..
u can look at shine, gladiator, splendour nxg/super in 125 cc range..
any brand preferences?? budget???
